Chapter Ten

  Bao Man didn't even know what she had sung, and she didn't even know why she suddenly thought of singing at that time.

  Her hands and feet had long been frozen stiff by the cold wind of the demonic night, and her face was no exception. Bao Man even thought she didn't have the strength to open her mouth for a moment, but when she sat down on the ground regardless, her chest seemed to be even more suffocated, this choking feeling made her have to take big gulps of icy air to slightly relieve it.

  A chill wind pierced her throat, and after swirling around in her delicate and fragile lungs, it somehow transformed into a series of tightly connected notes that leaped out from Bohman's lips.

  That wasn't any dark spell that the sorceress was good at, Bohman didn't even know what she was singing. She just hummed along with the rhythm of the entire forest, watching the swaying branches cast dancing shadows on the ground, taking deep breaths in and out, chanting out a strange melody.

  Nai Ozu did not give Boman a strong body, but unexpectedly gave her a good voice. At the beginning of singing, Boman thought she was just screaming simply, and this behavior had no meaning except to scare away the wind dog that had been following her for one or two steps. She didn't want to keep shouting, but her trembling voice couldn't stop.

  As she finally calmed down a bit, the tremble in her tone also subsided gradually. Bao Man found that the breath exhaled from her mouth was no longer icy and jumping, it was not just a combination of notes, nor was it the few piano practice songs that were still fresh in her memory, but a harmonious and beautiful sound that kept triggering some faint magical elements to resonate.

  On Bo's side, it was just following the music that surged in his throat and playing along instinctively.

  But on Wind Dog's side, it became a nightmare of being pursued step by step.

  The witch girl's initial scream was quite ordinary, and the occasional howl of a dying demon being dragged away by the wind hounds had also sounded similar. However, as her voice gradually took on a melodic quality, each of the wind hounds discovered that no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to move their bodies even an inch, while the cold sensation that was originally hidden beneath their thick fur suddenly intensified and began to seep into every muscle and bone in their body.

  The Wind Hounds began to get restless, but they didn't feel any obvious changes in the magical fluctuations in the air, nor were there any signs of wind or ice magic being cast. Although they didn't know what necromancy was, their quarry, which had been acting strangely all along, didn't seem to be casting a spell either. Apart from the flickering shadows dancing under the trees illuminated by Champak's light, everything seemed normal.

  However, as Bao Man's singing voice gradually became higher and clearer, the wind dogs' eyes also gradually lost their luster.

  A cold light flashed by, and a giant wind dog's skull rolled to the ground. However, there was no blood splattered out in an eerie way.

  It turned out that Bao Jia's violin could also use metal strings as a weapon... This was the last thought of Bao Man before he lost consciousness.

  Bao Jia followed the sound of singing, and he came alone without wearing his signature black outfit. The clothes on him looked like pajamas. The reason was simple: he had detected something unusual around the campsite before going to bed, and the movements of the Variant Wind Hounds were too easy for Bao Jia, an experienced adventurer, to distinguish.

  Compared to the strength of Zoro's team, this demon beast is relatively weak and Bao Jia wasn't too worried. However, the commotion from outside was quite strange, and the Wind Dog group seemed to have split into two for some unknown reason. Bao Jia became suspicious and made another round of inspections between each tent, only to find that Bohan's tent was empty.

  There was no bloodstain or sign of struggle around the tent, but Bao Jia rushed out of the camp with his violin case in hand, without even changing his clothes.

  The wind dogs outside the camp were killed by him, and in an instant they scattered and fled without a trace. However, there was no sign of Bao Man's presence in this gathering place either. The frozen soil between the trees had long been blown hard as stone by the cold wind, and when Bao Man walked through, not only did he leave no footprints, but even the withered branches and leaves that were occasionally kicked open had already been restored to a messy pile in the night wind.

  Bao Jia walked back and forth along several small paths, but naturally found nothing. He had also thought that the stubborn witch girl might have gone straight into the depths of the forest, but before determining the direction, he couldn't possibly chase after her with all his might like on the road. As for calling out to other team members to search together, Bao Jia didn't even think about it. His female teammates usually got along well, but who knew what they would become when they left his sight? This was the demon realm, where so-called fair competition also included many "reasonable" methods!

  When Bao Jia was at a loss, a faint and intermittent sound came from a certain direction in the forest, mixed with the howling night wind, scattered among the trees, sounding like Baoman's singing voice. If it wasn't for Bao Jia being already some distance away from the campsite and coincidentally stopping in this direction, he might not have heard the singing voice at all.

  The adventurer, wearing pajamas and carrying a small violin, stood still to determine the source of the singing voice - being able to hear the sound proved that Boman had not encountered too much misfortune for now, and in order to hurry over as soon as possible, he must first determine the exact direction.

  When Bao Jia started listening carefully, he was surprised to find that the chill on his body had intensified. This should not have happened, even if he only wore pajamas, but with his strength, this cold wind should not have had any effect on him at all. Bao Jia looked down at himself in confusion, without finding any problems, and the strange feeling from just now seemed to have never existed.

  He didn't think much of it and shifted his attention back to sensing the source of the song. Then, that inexplicable chill appeared again...

  After repeated attempts, this experienced adventurer with silver pupils finally discovered the source of the problem. The sudden chill on his body was closely related to Boman's singing voice. The closer he got to Boman, the clearer the singing voice became, and the heavier the chill on his body became, and even the flow of blood in his body had a tendency to stagnate.

  Bao Jia followed the sound of the song as he hurried along, using his spiritual power to sense the strange effect of this weird singing. Although he didn't detect any obvious magical fluctuations, under the repeated scanning of Yin Tong's powerful spiritual power, he sensed another kind of strange power that could control his blood flow. Fortunately, this power was not enough to pose a threat to him.

  If his judgment was not wrong, this power should be the legendary "barbarian" that surpasses Bimon's "Song of Power". Although Silver Pupil is a member of the Demon Clan, when they summon their own Nightmare Steed, whether it's ordinary summoning or drawing summoning, it has a similar effect to Bimon's Spirit War Song. Although there are no Bimon priests in the demon world, there are still one or two Bimon tribes living there. When Baojia was adventuring on the mainland, he had also heard rumors about the Bimon war song.

  But what he could never have imagined was that Bao Man, who was clearly a witch, would sing out in a voice similar to Bei Mong's battle song. Although the singing itself was likely the result of Bao Man's unconscious state, when Bao Jia finally rushed to her side, he saw at a glance that the little witch girl was in a trance-like state.

  Soros first slaughtered several wind hounds nearby, and when he found that the blood in their bodies had indeed coagulated, it also confirmed his previous judgment. Boman seemed to have inadvertently sung an evil battle song with a blood-coagulating effect.

  Bao Jia knew the girl's body was weak, and in this situation, using force would cause more harm than the wind wolf's attack. As he cleaned up the wind wolves, he had already applied a sleeping technique to Bao Man's body. The girl's singing voice quickly became lower and lower, finally transforming into an unstable breathing sound. Bao Jia walked forward and picked up the girl, carefully examining her and not finding any obvious external or internal injuries, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, this was truly a blessing in disguise...

  When Bo Man opened her eyes, she found herself back in her own tent. The thick quilt on her body had driven away the chill from all over her body. The girl smiled self-deprecatingly, because she knew that after all, she hadn't been able to escape, and must have been rescued by Bao Jia who arrived just in time. Although it was fortunate that she hadn't fallen into the jaws of the wolves, her own efforts seemed to have been completely wasted, and everything had returned to its original state.

  The girl wanted to struggle and get up, but found that her body was very disobedient and extremely weak. There is a reason why the hypnotic technique has not yet taken effect, but Bao Man does not have any experience with this and cannot detect it. Most importantly, the strange singing voice she inadvertently sang out had exhausted her energy and physical strength, and now Bao Man did not even have the strength to lift up the quilt.

  The other women in the adventure party seemed to be unaware of the girl's escape, at least they pretended to know nothing. Bo Man getting sick due to travel fatigue was a common occurrence and was no longer a rare thing in Zoro's team. When the team was preparing to set off, there was still no movement in this tent, which also meant that the girl was ill again.

  Then several enthusiastic types of female team members who could still chat with Bao Man started to come and help, and some even provided their own pack animals. After a few trips back and forth, Bao Man continued to rest while the team moved forward.

  And throughout the whole process, Captain Silver Pupil did not appear, as if he didn't know what happened last night either.
